Transfer Pricing Policy & Structuring
Documentation explains what you did. A policy decides what you will do. We design the pricing policy for your intra-group arrangements and make it something your finance team can apply month to month.
Why it matters
Why Transfer Pricing Policy & Structuring matters
Most transfer pricing difficulty is created upstream, by arrangements that were never designed — they simply accumulated.
Consistency is easier to defend
A policy applied the same way each period tells a coherent story. Ad hoc charges do not.
The policy has to be operable
If finance cannot apply it in a normal close, it will not be applied. We design for that.
Design beats remediation
Setting the arrangement up correctly costs a fraction of unwinding it later.

Questions
Transfer Pricing Policy & Structuring: common questions
They do different jobs. Documentation defends what happened; a policy determines what happens next. Groups with documentation but no policy tend to rebuild the analysis every year.
Yes. A policy that is not reflected in signed agreements is difficult to sustain, so the two are usually done together.
